I have heard it said that when God shuts doors, He opens windows. This seems a perfect description for what we see happening in the ultracapacitor world.

Stock markets around the world plummet and investors are experiencing unparallel losses. This would seem to make it extremely difficult for new technology companies to find the investment capital they so critical need. Well, the opposite is true. As investors panic and flee from Wall Street (and their counterparts exchanges around the world), they seek alternative investment vehicles for their cash. Green technologies and advanced technologies of all types represent exactly what investors are looking for – exceptional yield opportunities in a volatile market. They realize they must look outside the mainstream mature business models to find that opportunity – and they are finding that opportunities abound.

Ultracapacitor products are an example of one of these alternative investments. It is an emerging technology with a tremendous up side, it ‘s a green technology, and it’s the future of battery related technology. However, the definition of alternative investment opportunities doesn’t stop with ultracapacitors. If you have a green technology or advanced technology that exploits an underserved consumer or business demand, then you likely have a product offering that meets the definition of alternative investment.

We have had five major investment firms contact us in the last 45 days – looking for green energy and advanced technology companies they could consider for investment. I guess in what was incorrectly thought was a "tight money market" is really the exact opposite.

If you have a company and product that meets the below criteria, then you very well may have found your ‘manna from heaven’:

You have a tremendously exciting story – a story that will evoke passion from potential investors.

Your current revenues range from $3M to $100M.

You are looking for $10M to $100M in capital.

You have a deep passion for your offering and the difference it can make in the world.

You have a seasoned management team that can take you to the next level (with proper financing).

You have reoccurring contracts (or contract opportunities) with customers that represent at least 60% of the current yearly revenues.

You are looking for a financial firm to partner with you as you move forward – and advise you on future financial strategy.

You are not looking for a VC firm – you want a firm that has ‘skin in the game’ but is not looking to be predatory.

I will say that in my lifetime, I have never seen so much money available for the truly qualified company – money that does not come with a transfer of control of the organization. If you fit the criteria, then contact us and we will call to hear your story.

Everyone is looking to buy your capacitors. I hope I can buy a bunch of them in the near future even if I don't make $3M a year. Your marketing uproach shouldn't just focus on the companies that have money because the majority of people who want to buy your capacitors will probably an average "Joe" who wants to convert their car to EV. Think about it. That's a business opportunity right there....

You are exactly right - it's the "Average Joe" using ultracaps that will create the demand that will drive companies to produce more and more of them. We are working now on several solutions for exactly what you are looking to do.
